The testing of software is a critical component of software engineering. Software testing provides important information about the quality of a product or service under investigation. The process of testing software can involve the creation of test plans related to an objective, the identification of appropriate test cases, and the application of these test cases to the software in interest to verify software performance and identify any anomalies or defects in the software. As new software products and versions are released, the complexity of testing the software and managing test plans and test cases also increases in kind.
